The Silverlon® Family of Wound Dressing provide:

·         Local Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Coverage
·         Functional Barrier to Environmental Pathogens
·         Assist with Autolysis of Necrotic Tissue
·         Pain Reduction
·         Enhanced Wound Healing

For Silverlon® Wound Care Products to be effective and non-adhering, the dressings must remain moist.  Sterile Water is recommended as the wetting agent.   The chloride ion in normal saline reacts with metallic silver to form a precipitate of silver chloride on the metallic silver surface and subsequently reduces the number of silver ions released.  Silverlon® has been shown to release in vitro silver ions for up to twelve days, however when applied to clinical wounds, the longevity of the Silverlon® Wound Care Products depends upon the amount of exudates and cellular debris that cover the silver plated fibers of the fabric.  When the silver coated fibers become covered, silver ions are not released and the antimicrobial efficiency decreases.

Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing

Product Description

Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressings are composed of knitted fabrics that are flexible, minimally adhering, antimicrobial silver plated fabric.  The knitted fabric is composed of pure nylon base fiber that is 100% covered uniformly and circumferentially with a thin coat of pure metallic silver approximately (4/100,000 inch).  Analysis of the Silverlon® surface reveals 99.1% pure metallic silver and 0.9% silver oxide.  The open knit pattern of the fabric permits passage of oxygen and fluids to and from the wound surface.  The silver provides the effective antimicrobial action of the dressing and functions as an antimicrobial barrier.

FDA Approved Indications

For local management of full and partial thickness wounds, partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, and Stage I-IV dermal ulcers (vascular, venus, pressure, and diabetic).

Clinical Application

The flexibility and elasticity of the Silverlon® fabric allow the dressing intimate contact with the wound surface especially in cavitary wounds such as Stage 3 and Stage 4 pressure ulcerations.  The Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing can be covered with the routine wound fillers such as woven gauzes and pads but also with advanced wound care products such as hydrogels, hydrocolloids, and foams.  Overlapping periwound skin by one to two centimeters enhances analgesic effect of the dressing and also treats periwound skin with a microbial barrier.

Sizes and Packaging Available          

The Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing is individually packaged in foil pouches and gamma sterilized.

Product Name	Size	Product #	Dressings/ Box
Silverlon® Wound Packing 1x24	1 inch by 24 inch	WPS-124	10

Clinical Application

The flexibility and elasticity of Silverlon® allow the dressing intimate contact with the wound surface.  The Silverlon® Wound Packing Strip is loosely packed into the wound cavity functioning more as a wound filler.  Sinus tracts, narrow tunneling and diabetic ulcerations are ideal for the Silverlon® wound Packing Strip.  The packing strip is covered with the routine woven gauzes, pads or advanced wound care products such as film hydrogels, hydrocolloids, and foams.

Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing

Product Description

Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing is a multilaminate, antimicrobial, absorbent wound dressing that consists of Silverlon® fabric (similar to the Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing) as the wound contact layer, an absorbency pad layer covered by a film urethane layer.  The absorbency pad layer is designed to absorb wound exudate and fluids.  The urethane film layer controls the moisture evaporation from the pad.  The film urethane layer has multiple 5 mm slits that allow wetting the pad without removal of the dressing. 

FDA Approved Indications

For local management of full and partial thickness wounds, partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, and Stage I-IV dermal ulcers (vascular, venus, pressure, and diabetic).

Sizes and Packaging Available

The Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing is individually packaged in foil pouches and gamma sterilized.

Product Name	Size	Product #	Dressings/ Box
Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing 2x2	2 inch by 2 inch	WP-22	5
Silverlon® Wound  Pad Dressing 2x4	2 inch by 4  inch	WP-24	5

Silverlon® Wound  Pad Dressing 4x8	4 inch by 8 inch	WP-48	5

Clinical Application

The Silverlon® Wound Pad is designed primarily for post surgical wounds and flat wounds.  The slits in the backing layer of film polyurethane allow moistening of the dressing without removal from the wound surface.  The slits also provide for drainage of excessive wound exudate to reduce the risk of periwound skin maceration.  Overlapping periwound skin by one to two centimeters enhances analgesic effect of the dressing and also treats periwound skin with a microbial barrier.

Silverlon® Island Dressing

Product Description

Silverlon® Island Dressing is a multilaminate, antimicrobial, absorbent wound dressing that consists of Silverlon® fabric (similar to the Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing) as the wound contact layer, an absorbency pad layer covered by a film urethane layer and a backing layer composed of a non-woven elastomeric polyurethane adhesive tape.  The absorbency pad layer is designed to absorb wound exudate and fluids.  The urethane film layer controls the moisture evaporation from the pad.  The non-woven elastomeric polyurethane backing tape secures the dressing in place.

FDA Approved Indications

For local management of full and partial thickness wounds, partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, and Stage I-IV dermal ulcers (vascular, venus, pressure, and diabetic).

Sizes and Packaging Available

            The Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing is individually packaged in foil pouches and gamma sterilized.
